Check Out Kingdom Come: Deliverance’s Extravagant Collector’s Edition

November 2, 2017Written by Tyler Treese

Kingdom Come: Deliverance is set to release early next year, and publisher Deep Silver went to Twitter to unveil its “limited collector’s edition.” The special edition of the upcoming medieval role-playing game will include a Steelbook with a copy of the game, a hardcover artbook, the title’s soundtrack, a cotton map showing off the game world, and a figurine.

As you can see in the image below, the collector’s edition offers the following:

Failure does not mean loss in Kingdom Come: Deliverance. If you make a decision, you will have to live with it. Your speech check failed when trying to convince the drunk tp pay the money he owes? You can try stealing it from him, or maybe you can settle it like a couple of monkeys and punch each other until you get what you want. If the fight fails, you can come back later with a crew of friends to try it again in a completely unfair four-on-one bout. Every part of the game provides this level of nuanced decision-making that will let you play exactly how you want to, seemingly in a less gamified way than most games currently do.

This web of choices extends to reputations with town and individuals, and politics of the country, again based on real life politics of the time. Every one of these systems weaves in and out of each other to provide a game that seems to have exceptional depth. Often times, politics are just as if not more important than fights. While a clean left hook or a sharp blade can solve some problems, it’s the subtlety and tact that makes the real difference.
